New Language Translation - Luganda

[Juraj Oravec]

Hello Kizito,

I checked a little bit around, and would like to point you to another 
wiki page.

On the Localization page [1] there is a section:

> Introducing a New Language
>   Great many languages are already being localized into within KDE
>   project. Sometimes, however, a new language is to be introduced,
>   which requires coordination between its translators and core KDE
>   team. Also, to ship a language as part of official KDE release, some
>   essentials must be satisfied.

Best regards,
Juraj
